Sound cannon accusation according to mass protest: government on the defensive!
Belgrad, Serbien - in Belgrade, a large demonstration against the Serbian government broke abruptly, which led to sharp allegations regarding the use of a sound cannon. More than 3,000 participants have reported their experiences by Monday and claimed that on Saturday evening they have heard a deafening roar, followed by a pressure wave at around 7:11 p.m. href = "https://www.kosmo.at/proteste-in-belgrad-neue-zum-se- von-schallanonen-aufaucht/"> kosmo.at . However, the Serbian authorities decide all allegations and are ready to take legal steps against the widespread of such claims.
Critics of the government require an independent examination of the incident, which is supported by a petition that was signed by over 500,000 people within 24 hours. This petition is aimed at international organizations such as the UN Menschenrechtskommissariat and the OSCE, reported Puls24.at . Meanwhile, Prime Minister Miloš Vučević suggests that both the FBI and the Russian secret service FSB be included in the investigation - a measure that is considered inadequate by many.
eyewitnesses report an extraordinary heat wave and then a pressure wave that threw many demonstrators to the ground, which led to an immediate demolition of the protests. According to the former police commissioner Božo Prelević, damage from such a sound cannon could have serious health consequences, including hearing damage. However, hospitals have denied reports on injuries. In the middle of these controversy, the Belgrade public prosecutor's office is now examining the origin of this information and is investigating suspicion of panic, which can be punished at up to five years in prison.
